I just watched Spirited Away and the art was very beautiful and realistic. The story was good as well but I just liked to look at the pretty scenes.

good for you kid
now watch boko no pico
Thanks for the detailed analysis.
I really like spirited away a lot too. Saw it while I was very young and it left a heavy impact on me. Thta movie is a masterpiece, no other movies from the studio reach the heights this did.
Thread gets turned into contrarians flooding the thread to whine about how much they hate it. (like all anime when someone says they like something)
Already watched it, first episode was great
Praising anime for art or animation quality is deeply frowned upon here, OP. Yas Forums is a plotfag board.
Praising ANY anime that isn't moe is frowned upon on Yas Forums
>story was good as well
Really? What was good about it?
To be fair, Gihbli is a fucking retard.
Sweet sauna with slave girls and magical witch with baby
>realistic
Hell of a weird thing to say about a film set in a fantasy bathhouse whose cast is almost entirely spirits.
I didn't like it very much. I enjoyed Ponyo the most.
Well clearly you have not gone into any rural Japanese tunnels
>girl eats dumplings
>starts randomly bawling out of nowhere
Drama doesn't get much more forced than that.
Am , but I really enkoyed Pnyo too, though like I said, I think spirited away has a lot more charm to it.
enjoyed ponyo* I really need to nab a new keyboard and pay attention to what I post
RIP this thread, would love some more anons to dicsuss this movie.
The train sequence was absolute kino.
I don't think I can name another kids' movie that has a several minutes long scene with no action and no dialog yet still manages to make all but the most ADHD kids watch it with their mouths open.
I kept rewatching that scene where she pulled all the junk out of the stink god. It was incredibly satisfying to watch that last pop.
Great film, no doubt. I rewatch it every now and then for the comfiness.
Ponyo is nice too.
Same, saw it on a school trip when it came out.
There's not really much to discuss outside of the general overall direction and its relation to the Japanese economy/society at the time of its production. It's not a complicated story, not much ambiguity either.
You have a fetish user.
Spirited away is moe
Started rewatching all the Ghibli movies on Jewflix minus Grave of the Fireflies
Nausicaa is a fucking disaster of a movie. The manga is one of my favourites, but this movie strips away all that made it good other than the aesthetic and leaves us with a husk of a story which says
>pacifism good
>fighting bad
and doesn't begin to explore the themes of how to deal with a polluted world that we caused, and what the solutions might be.
It must have something to do with Miyazaki realising that moralfagging about the environment is fake and gay halfway through writing the manga and coming up with an amazing ending that answers his previous questions.
The soundtrack is edited poorly and the tracks are cut at awkward spots and transition roughly into other tracks. Composition and instrumentation for many of the electronic tracks is bizarre and doesn't fit the tone of the scene or the aesthetic of the movie.
This is the most amateur Miyazaki movie. Castle of Cagliostro was a lot more competent because the characters were already established and he had worked on the franchise before.
What did No Face add to the movie? It feels like not much would've changed if he was entirely absent
The Nausicaa manga is also thematically shallow but okay
>The Nausicaa manga is also thematically shallow
Not at all. It fully explores the theme of environmentalism. It presents the theme, challenges it, and comes up with a solution. There's also the stories of Kushana, Kurotowa and Charuka that raise questions of varying levels of loyalty to an empire.
>What did No Face add to the movie?
Shoe-horning in environmentalism for children. "Clean up your local rivers, kids." He's a mascot to trick children into looking after their surroundings, just like what Totoro is.
>It fully explores the theme of environmentalism
Wow like every Miyazaki story. Once you've seen one you've seen them all
Wrong. Most Miyazaki stories don't fully explore environmentalism. Spirited Away doesn't. Princess Mononoke doesn't. Porco Rosso has nothing to do with it. Totoro is hardly about environmentalism beyond "water the plants in your back garden and grow some vegetables at home".
They all deliver the messages with absolutely zero nuance
Yes. The Nausicaa manga does it with nuance.
